## Resource

A catastrophic glacial collapse in the Himalayas has unleashed deadly floods across Nepal and China, now claiming over 1,000 lives with thousands still missing. In Nepal alone, nearly 1,000 confirmed deaths and more than 3,900 people unaccounted for—including foreign nationals—have been reported, while China confirms 16 fatalities with hundreds missing. The avalanche triggered seismic activity and torrents of debris that obliterated homes, roads, and bridges. Rescue teams battle treacherous terrain using helicopters to reach isolated communities, searching for survivors and aiding those displaced. Some may be trapped in hydropower tunnels, heightening urgency. Witnesses describe a landscape utterly transformed, and rescuers are overwhelmed by the grief and trauma they encounter. The disaster’s scale and human toll remain staggering as search efforts continue around the clock. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
